Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Madras has become the first IIT to introduce sports quota for its undergraduate admissions.
“We will create two supernumerary seats in each course from the 2024-25 academic session,” said director V Kamakoti.
Currently, the IITs do not have a sports quota while many of the country’s premier universities, including Delhi University, do. “Starting from 2024-2025 academic session, IIT Madras will offer two supernumerary seats per undergraduate programme for Indian nationals under the Sports Excellence Admission (SEA) programme.
We are the first IIT to introduce sports quota and the idea is to reward and encourage students who have achieved a certain level of excellence in sports of their choice,” Kamakoti added.
